Picton

Picton is the gateway to the South Island, being the location where the Ferry from Wellington docks. Because of this it’s easy to have the image before arriving of a busy port town. Nothing could be further from this, its a very small town with a quiet relaxed atmosphere. The marina is home to some amazing yachts and also the start of a couple of walks out to a couple of headlands offering views back towards Picton and also of the Queen Charlotte Walking Track. I had intended to walk the track, but ended up just relaxing for a few days in town. The track will have to wait until i’m back there in September!
